Since I am older and the sun is out more frequently in my area my skin has been tan. I would like my natural skin color back. I don't like the color on my face which is darker now. I think it is very unattractive and dull looking. I would like to know if there are any lotions or creams that I could put on to make my skin much lighter again? Please help! Thanks.

 I get where your coming from.
It's not about my skin colour because I'm white skinned but my skin looks purplish all the time and all the other girls look normal and like girls of the movies.
Factor 30+ suncream is good but you have to remember to use it. 50+ suncream would be even better!

 First of all, get Sun Screen with a number at least 30 that will protect you from uv and uvb rays! I have pale skin...so I use 45-50!!! And use it EVERYDAY!!! Don't ever go out side without it! The sun is so damaging to your facial skin....it's one of the main causes of facial wrinkles...not to mention skin cancer!!
There is lots of skin lightners on the market...I think you should look into a product called "Skin Bleach"...it is for people who have have discolorations...like freckles or dark spots..ect. There are several brands. I used Palmer's Skin Bleach.
Good Luck!

 There are probably products out there that will TELL you that they can lighten and whiten your skin, but it's a load of rubbish.
I'm worried that you want to do this. If your skin is seriously darker and dull looking then go and see a doctor and discuss it with her/him. However, I have a feeling this is all in your head. It's a lack of confidence. What's so special about having a light colour skin? Many of the most beautiful people in the world have dark or very dark skins. Attractiveness doesn't come from outside it comes from inside. When you're young it can seem that people are only concerned with what we look like, but this isn't true. Have a think about some of the most popular people you know. I'll bet they're all shapes and sizes and colours.
Start to appreciate yourself. Focus on all the great things about yourself (there will be many) and please, please forget this kind of 'cosmetic' quick fix. It doesn't work and won't change how you feel about yourself.
